The White-crowned Manakin is a Passeriforme of the family Pipridae.
It is about 10 cm in length. The male is black with a white crown and red iris. The female is olive-green with a greyish head and paler underparts.
Small, loose groups of males display in short flights from low, slender branches often with the white crown feathers spread outwards.
The cup-shaped nest is built on the fork of a branch and the clutch is of two eggs.
It is fairly common but unobtrusive in the lower levels of humid forest.
